"He's someone who can give you two or three seconds on the ball to relieve pressure. He can score important goals and create chances. I saw Thomas Frank's comments about him the other day and Mbeumo nearly being a complete winger. I think by the end of this season, he'll be one of the most complete wingers in the Premier League because he can do everything. He just needs to consistently do it in a United shirt."
"I think de Ligt has been our best defender this season, he's been outstanding for us. He's even adding goals with the last-minute one the other day [against Tottenham]. His pressing, his assertiveness and his willingness to go into foreign areas up the pitch to defend at the right times has been good. Clearing out of the box, he has been brilliant."
Bryan Mbeumo scored the opener with a fine header in Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Tottenham. United are unbeaten in their last five top-flight games and sit seventh, one point off the top four. Mbeumo has become a mainstay, offering two or three seconds on the ball to relieve pressure, scoring important goals and creating chances, and is developing into a near-complete winger. Matthijs de Ligt has been United's standout defender, contributing a last-minute equaliser, strong pressing, assertiveness and effective clearances. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens is essential to the team's balance and overall importance.
